Magestore doesn’t charge extra fees for additional users and devices so they’re more affordable than Ebizmarts.
Ebizmarts POS plans
Ebizmarts POS has 2 types of plans based on your business scale. All plans offer a free test account. You can sign up with a credit card to determine if the POS works for your store.
Ebizmarts charges you a monthly fee and additional costs are calculated based on the number of devices. The lowest package starts at $350 and is non-refundable.
Magestore POS pricing
Magestore provides a more comprehensive solution for Magento merchants. They offer one pricing plan based on the number of stores at the time of purchase. Because Magestore follows a one-time payment model, the upfront cost will be high.
However, Magestore doesn’t charge you any extra fees for more users and devices. Combined with the fact that you’ll get a three-month warranty and free update for the product version you purchased, this will pay off in the long run.
If you’re not satisfied with the solution, Magestore will also refund you within 90 days of purchase for the POS license. So, you will have more time to see the effectiveness of the solution in your business.
While Ebizmarts only supports iOS devices, Magestore offers more device options to run your retail point of sale, from PCs, iPads, to Android tablets.
Ebizmarts is a mobile point of sale, built on the iOS platform, and available for only iOS devices. Their recommended iPad models are those with the minimum mobile operating system of iOS 12. That includes:
- iPad
- iPad Pro
- iPad Air
- iPad mini
Unlike Ebizmarts, Magestore POS is web-based. Thus, you can use the Magestore POS on both an iPad or a computer with a popular web browser such as Chrome. Moreover, Magestore POS is built with PWA technology allowing you to use it as a native app.
Magestore’s order processing is more effective and dedicated to fast checkout than Ebizmarts POS, especially if you need to process thousands of orders daily.
Although each Magento POS solution has fast order processing, their features bring your customer a different experience. With Magestore, order processing is more effective, especially if you’re getting a huge crowd of customers coming to your stores.
Order processing on Ebizmarts POS
During the checkout process, Ebizmarts point of sale allows your staff to put orders on hold. Customers can hold their order while adding or removing some products until they get the most satisfying choice.
Order processing on Magestore POS
In addition to the hold feature like Ebizmarts, Magestore POS also allows multiple orders. It means your staff can create multiple active shopping carts and check out. Your cashiers can minimize waiting time by checking out for the next customers while waiting for the on-hold customers.

Ebizmarts POS has limited customization options, while Magestore POS is flexible and easy to tailor to your business needs.
For some Magento merchants, the ability to customize specific features is a must-have to adapt the system to their operations and future demands.
In the case of Ebizmarts, they only offer to design custom features for the Enterprise+ package.
On the other hand, Magestore offers POS customization services for all customers, ranging from building new features to integrating with devices and other retail systems. Magestore POS is open source and you can customize your system with your own development team.

”When we signed up, we had a great consultation with Duke, who conducted thorough due diligence and took the time to fully understand our unique requirements. He created a great model for us that mapped out the connections between the two stores and eCommerce website. So if something was bought online, the system would look at the total quantity of stock from the two locations, not just one stock source, which is how we worked originally. Magestore’s pre-planning documentation really gave us confidence and the calls illustrated thorough understanding of the setup.
